JGSM staffer turns fascination with area waterfalls into DVD and Screensaver

In addition, Bohlk used skills
learned in the classroom; he’s
enrolled in a master’s degree
program that allowed him to serve
simultaneously as project manager,
technical director, videographer, and
editor.
“The biggest challenge was
capturing the falls on video so that
the viewer could really feel them,”
Bohlk says. “I know that rushing
water can excite your senses and
relax you, all at the same time. It
was important to me to capture the
falls with the most flattering light, at
different times of year, with the right
amount of water running, and perfect
audio that is true to what you’d
experience if you were standing at the
falls yourself.”
Both the DVD and the
screensaver feature clips of 10
different scenes from five area falls,
including Buttermilk Falls, Enfield
Falls, Ithaca Falls, Lucifer Falls, and
Taughannock Falls.
Research, reported in the
Washington Post, explains
that contact with animals,
plants and nature may be
an effective antidote to
stress, as it distracts us from
negative thoughts, and has
been credited with reducing
anxiety and lowering blood
pressure. The research
suggests that people are born
with this affinity for nature
and labels the phenomenon
“biophilia.”
Bohlk endorses this
research.

hen Chris Bohlk was
a little guy, he liked
sprinklers. He even
remembers turning a hose or two on
friends and his sister.
Today, Chris still enjoys the sound
and mist of running water and wants
to share this affection with others.
For the last six months, he has been
creating a DVD as well as a full motion
computer screensaver that compiles
his favorite area falls in media that
community members and tourists can
enjoy. “Relax To The Falls DVD” and
“Relax To The Falls Video Screensaver”
are available at The Cornell Store.
At Cornell, Bohlk works for the
Johnson School’s Technology Services
as the Web Systems Administrator
and realizes his technical background
made the project easier. Specifically,
his background at the Johnson
School enabled him to quickly
and effectively learn to edit and
manipulate images and put them in

the newest generation of Cornellians
by volunteering for Opening Day!
On Friday, August 18, more than
3,000 new undergraduate students
will arrive on campus to begin their
Cornell career. Assistance is needed
welcoming and directing these new
students and their families as they
move around campus and complete
registration requirements. Help is
also needed with registration of
new graduate students on Monday,
August 21. There are several types of
positions available so that volunteers
can be matched with a task that fits
their talents.
Supervisory approval is needed for
release time from work for volunteer
hours that coincide with scheduled
work hours. Hours spent volunteering
will be considered paid release time
(i.e. paid leave) only if they coincide
with scheduled work hours; if they
fall outside of scheduled work hours,
they will be without pay.
We’re looking for staff members
who can commit anywhere from a
minimum of two hours to a full day
to help these new students. Opening
Day begins an important chapter in
each new student’s life and academic
career, so please help to make their
first day on campus a positive and
memorable one by signing up today
at http://registrar.sas.cornell.edu/
openingday.html.

All of us are enrolled as students of life. Our work and family activities are ever
learning experiences in which we gather knowledge and expertise every day. We
learn how to be better citizens of the workforce and the community, and we learn
how to improve the necessary skills to do a better job and master more complex
challenges. This happens every day. And to the extent that we are aware of it and
allow it to happen, to that extent are we more fulfilled.
And whether we are enrolled in an educational institution or not, we are
surrounded by the search for knowledge and we are a part of it. As a testimonial,
I started out as an electronics technician and retired as director of a research and
development group. Every day was a fun day while I learned new material. And
whether one is a dishwasher or a director, while being surrounded by people of
talent, something is going to transfer to each of us.
I contend that this is one of the important factors which accounts for why we have
so many longterm staff members. We like the idea of learning. Vivé knowledge!

Emergency Grant Fund guidelines,
the EAP counselor will pass on
the request to a review committee
convened by the Employee Assembly.
Applicants will be notified by phone
of the decision as soon as possible, but
no later than 10 business days, after
receipt of the application.
Awards-Two levels of awards: $500
and $1,000 are available depending
on need. Any money awarded under

IT Forum a Huge Success
After completing the Team-in-Training program, Elaine prefers to run
long distances, explaining that short runs are over too quickly.

applicants as possible. The application
process is simple and straightforward,
and employees are encouraged to
complete the form as soon as possible.
Employees may submit an application
up to 90 days after the catastrophe.
Criteria-Two criteria-type and
extent of the catastrophe and
demonstrated financial need-must
be met for an employee to qualify
for a grant. The applicant must have
insufficient resources to deal with
the immediate consequences of
a disastrous or catastrophic nonmedical event that is unanticipated
or accidental. More details about
the criteria can be found on the
application form.
Process- To ensure confidentiality
and guarantee fair treatment, the
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
serves as the application gateway.
Emergency Grant Fund applications
are available at the EAP office on 409
College Avenue. Potential applicants
are requested to make initial
internal motivation and credits the

n June 11, Elaine
Westbrooks, a senior
metadata librarian at
Cornell, ran 13.1 miles in the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Team in

New York. She ran because she is an
athlete. She ran because it was the
right thing to do. She ran because
two people important to her lost their
battles with leukemia.
The training program prepares
people to run or walk a whole or half
marathon. Westbrooks is among
nearly 300,000 volunteers who have
helped raise more than $660 million
for leukemia research. Other Cornell
community members taking part
in Team-in-Training were Mann

Team-in-Training race in San Diego.

I can’t believe that I’m gonna run
6 miles tomorrow! This omnipresent
cold/sniffles is not going to help me
at all! At least running in the Skunk
Cabbage Classic means that we get
to run .5 mile less than if we ran our
normal runs on the weekend. I hope I
can finish!

That run kicked my butt! I barely
made it under 1 hour. My knees
are very sore. I didn’t sleep well on
Saturday night either. Next week we
only need to run 5 miles.

run 9 miles tomorrow! I hope that
I ate enough dinner tonight. My
hamstring has been a little tender
lately, but at least my knees are feeling
better. I think the gym is really
starting to payoff.
May 13
Even though I only had 4 hours
of sleep, the 10 mile run on Saturday
went very well. The rain came down
pretty steady. Running in Cortland
is easier than running in Ithaca—less
hills. Icing the knees makes a very big
difference in recovery. I reached my
fundraising goal—$1,500. Now I can
focus on training.

As I was planning my schedule, I needed to talk with
the persons who would be covering my work while I am away. These are the same
coworkers who cover my work and make it possible for me to attend the regular
and committee meetings of the Employee Assembly.
The Employee Assembly has a number of people to thank for the contributions
they make. Supervisors schedule the time for assembly members to make
meetings, and coworkers offer their time by covering for their colleagues. Each
staff comment and opinion that gets passed along to the assembly makes another
valuable contribution to the decision-making process.
Without the contributions made by staff, the Employee Assembly would not be
as effective nor would it function as smoothly. So let me express my appreciation
to everyone for the successes of the Employee Assembly.

Earlier this summer, Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) announced its
newest wireless service, RedRover-Secure. Unlike RedRover (the original, unsecure
wireless network) and RedRover-Guest (the wireless network offered to guests
of the university who do not have a Cornell University NetID), RedRover-Secure
offers a much greater degree of privacy for wireless connections by encrypting the
wireless portions of data transmissions.
RedRover-Secure is available everywhere you can access standard RedRover
and RedRover-Guest. All you need is a Cornell NetID and a Wi-Fi device that
provides WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security.
“Use it. We want to know what you do and do not like about RedRoverSecure,” said Dave Barr, RedRover’s wireless program manager. “As society
becomes more mobile, we are adapting our service to meet the needs of our
users. In this case, we’re responding to the need to have their information
protected from snooping and prying while using a wireless connection.”
For more information, including how to sign up and where to find RedRover,
visit www.cit.cornell.edu/redrover/. Send feedback to the RedRover team via
helpdesk@cornell.edu.
Another Great Choice for Your E-mail
Leslie Intemann
C
ornell Information Technologies is adding Mozilla Thunderbird to its
list of fully supported e-mail clients. We’ll continue to support Eudora,
WebMail, and the uPortal.Cornell e-mail channel.
Thunderbird is software you install (like Eudora), and is best used on your
own computer (browser-based clients like WebMail are more appropriate
when you use a public computer). We are encouraging all incoming students,
new faculty, and new staff to use Thunderbird instead of Eudora. Faculty and
staff who are currently using Eudora are urged to contact your local technical
support staff to see if switching to Thunderbird makes sense for you.
A working group composed of members from CIT and the Information
Technologies Managers Council (ITMC) jointly selected Thunderbird. Why?
Among the reasons are cross-platform support (Windows/Macintosh/Linux),
Kerberos and SSL support for secure authentication, POP and IMAP support,
and Unicode support, which enables Thunderbird to display a number of
special and foreign character sets.
“Thunderbird is a better all-around e-mail client actively adopted by a
number of universities, including Harvard, Duke, and Columbia,” said Jon
Atherton, CIT’s lead for Packaging and Delivery. “And Thunderbird is being
actively developed by many people.” Licensed by Mozilla, Thunderbird is an
Open Source product with an active developer community.
Support for Thunderbird began with the June release of Bear Access 2006. Visit

two winners, who each received a $1,000 cash
award. One winner, Lucy Burgess, a member of
the Cornell Library since 1978, has worked in the
Department of Rare Books, then in the Division
of Rare and Manuscript Collections, and now in
Library Technical Services. She originally joined
the library as a secretary, but with excellent
organizational skills, outstanding productivity,
and her ability to juggle multiple projects,
Burgess is now solely in charge of the entire rare
books processing operation. A dedicated, deeply
knowledgeable, and extraordinary productive
member of the library, she is an easygoing
“people person,” unanimously regarded with
respect and affection.
The second award was given to Crystal
Hackett, who first started at Cornell 41 years
ago as a stenographer and over time progressed
to learn to use computers, word processing and
acquired advanced desktop publishing skills.
Hackett wholeheartedly embraces change,
readily assumes new responsibilities and
excels at multi-tasking. She also embodies the
best attributes of a mentor and happily shares
whatever she knows to everybody-from newly
hired employees to the director. Hard-working,
capable, and dependable, Hackett is responsible
for managing the Law Library’s administrative
office, both personnel and business operations.
Being diplomatic and discreet, she has garnered
the trust and respect of every member of the
library staff.
Other Library employees nominated for
their outstanding performance included Judith
Adams, Carla DeMello, Jeff Piestrak, Josh Santelli,
and James Spear. Each of these nominees
received a $25 gift certificate to the Cornell Store
in recognition of exemplary service.

situation with a positive outlook, and recognized for her unwaivering
commitment to creating a work environment filled with respect and
dignity.
Several staffers were named as recipients of the Diversity

actively promote inclusiveness and awareness of difference in the
workplace. Individual winners were Jean and King Tang, cooks in
NorthStar Dining, who not only dish up delicious food, but also create a
welcoming environment to the students, staff and faculty who utilize
the facility. Denise Shaw of the Residential Programs office, also an
individual winner, was selected because she sets a tone of acceptance
for all and displays quiet and unexpected leadership during tense
and difficult situations. Amanda Carriero, who leads the Maplewood
graduate and professional housing staff, accepted the group Diversity
Enhancement Award for her team’s exceptional responsiveness to the
culturally rich background of the residents of Maplewood Park.
In addition to service year anniversaries, many other Campus Life
staffers were recognized for their outstanding attendance records,
professional service achievements and their professional presentations
and publications.
Musical entertainment for the evening was provided by The East
Hill Classic Jazz Group, led by Johnny Russo and Doug Robinson.

June 3, 2006, at the age of 56. Tanner, who served as the Building Manager in
the Clark Hall Research Department, was a 38-year university employee. In 1994
he was honored for his enthusiasm and wide range of superb technical skills by
being selected for the George Peter Award for Dedicated Service. A meticulous
craftsman in woodworking, Win was also an avid outdoorsman. He is fondly
remembered by faculty and staff in the Clark Hall community for his generosity,
infectious sense of humor and easygoing manner. Win is survived by his wife,
Tina White Tanner and their family. Those who wish to make a memorial are
directed to the American Red Cross, 201 W. Clinton St., Ithaca, NY 14850, or the
Moose Lodge #426, 2096 Rte. 14, Montour Falls, NY.
In Memoriam
Caissa Willmer
Caissa Joan Willmer, senior staff writer for Cornell Alumni Affairs and
Development from 1986-1999 and regular theater reviewer for the Ithaca
Times, passed away on June 3, 2006. In addition to her love of words, Caissa
shared a lively interest in birds, Spanish, politics, and natural things with her
many friends and family members, writing plays for local production and up
through this past spring, contributing to the birding e-mail list hosted by the
Laboratory of Ornithology. A celebration of Caissa’s life was held at the Lab
on June 11, presided by her son, daughters, sister, husband, and attended by
numerous other family members and friends. Many will think fondly of her
every time a witty play on words comes to mind or an English sparrow (a much
maligned, but very handsome bird in Caissa’s view) breaks forth in song.

bargaining unit (union-represented)
positions at Cornell will change to an
on-line process on July 31. Instead of
submitting a paper application, job
applicants will be guided through
an on-line application process. With
this change, job seekers will no
longer need to submit a completely
new application form each time
they apply for a Cornell position.
Instead, once an individual has
applied for a position, the application
is saved, and presented to him/her
when the individual applies for
future openings. All that he/she will
need to do is update and review the
application information.

Come Fly with Me
O
n any given work day, equipment
technician Ray Coolbaugh can be
found in the College of Veterinary
Medicine’s Animal Health Diagnostic Center
practicing his trade in a very quiet and
unassuming way. His responsibilities include
keeping the testing equipment-most of which
is quite sophisticated-calibrated, maintained
and when necessary, repaired. Ask anyone with
whom he works, and they will tell you that in
addition to being quite good at what he does,
Coolbaugh is quiet, efficient, and universally
liked and respected.
When it comes to the one weekend a
month he puts in with the NY National Guard,
Coolbaugh goes about performing his National
Guard job-as a pilot of a CH47-D Chinook, one
of the Army’s largest helicopters-in a similar
quiet and efficient manner. He’ll tell you that
it’s not all that big a deal and actually quite a lot
of fun. And while flying a helicopter that can
lift 26,000 pounds can be fun, it is not lost on
Coolbaugh that this is also very serious business.

In Memoriam
Ray Coolbaugh pilots a CH47-D Chinook, one of the Army’s largest
helicopters for the NY National Guard.
When his National Guard unit, located in Rochester, sponsored an event earlier this year to invite unit members’
bosses to come fly with them, Coolbaugh asked his supervisor Bob Reese if he’d like to “go up for a ride.” Reese,
operations manager for the Diagnostic Center, quickly accepted. The hour-long ride was a complete success, and
left all the participants with an enhanced respect for the skill, dedication and service of the pilots and crew of the
National Guard unit.
